1st pic is the v8 short motor just after i removed it from the engine bay( i only just thought of takin pix at this stage)

2nd is the empty engine bay....lots of room hey :huh:

3rd is one stripped and cleaned cylinder head

4th is the inlet port, nicely cleaned up...

5th is inlet port from valve side

.....

the plan was just to give the cylinders a hone, fit the new rings, bearings, cam and lifters, reseat the valves and throw it all back in, but....

number 7 bore is far too pitted and scored(pic 1 and 2) to hone out, so the block has to be sent to Trapnell Race Engines to be bored out another 20 thou(total of 60) dammit, now i need to take the rings back and get bigger ones,AND buy pistons....not happy jan.

pics 3 and 4 are the valve spring compressor i made, because the one that i bought bent when i tried to use it. Damn aftermarket double valvesprings.:huh:

Trapnell ahahahaha.............. your going to be waiting a while, they have taken 2 years with my bros engine so far and it still isnt done.

Hope it all turns out well tho.

They did the heads for it and we didnt wait for too long. They have been pretty good actually which is nice.

Rang them just before to get the quote to bore out the head for jase and they told me 1-2 days and they will have it done by the end of the week.

We have been told that they can be alittle slow, but so far so good for us, which is lucky, cause we need the v8 running asap :P

Sucks to be your brother then, because i put my heads in to be machined, i got them back the next day.

Then i put the block in on wednesday to be bored and have the new pistons fitted to the rods......picked it up on friday, all work completed.

All work was done by the time he said it would be ready.

I will definately be going back there.

Ok cause Jase has been alittle slack ill add a quick non-pic update.

On sunday we seated the valves (i did one of the heads and im rather proud of myself), finished the heads off and now the motor is looking more like it should.

Fingers crossed that today we might be able to get the motor in!

The v8 is finished.... YAY.

So i will finish this and update you all on what has happened since the last post.

This is as Jase was painting the sump in our infamous Kermit Green... fun afternoon with the paint cans nozzle being poo and annoying jase. In the end it looked good tho.

      He could just take the Bogan Cruise Ships setup... Already got a good setup, with blower, the auto was rebuilt too wasn't it? Perfect time for him to upgrade the tailshaft, diff, and axles...    And wouldn't need to waste money on redoing the Commos seats, as he could just buy race seats for the 5...   As a highly modded car he could avoid the ability to give it away to offspring too when they crash their cars...

      It's really interesting how much it's moving left to right, and doesn't appear to be actually spreading. For this to be moving left to right, without flaring, means unequal forces being applied until equilibrium hits in one way or another.   Reasons it could be unequal; Piston sizes left to right are different sizes. Only minute differences. Pistons moving on different planes. That is, are they moving directly straight at each other, or slightly out of alignment. The fluid is restricted getting to one side.   Some tests you could do. Pull the bleeders on the left and right, fit each side with pressure gauges. It will allow you to make sure pressure is equal (and really, it should be as fluid flow is so damn low, so fluid flow dynamics shouldn't come into it).   With the calipers off the car, have both sides retracted as far as possible, measure very very accurately (think micrometre) distances between opposing pistons in four different spots per set of pistons. Firstly, on each opposing pistons pair, the measures on for different spots should be equal. If it's not, and especially if one spot appears to actually get closer compared to another, the pistons aren't aligned, and now the forces left to right won't be equal, as they're the forces fighting each other.   You can also pull all the pistons out, and very very accurately measure the diameter of them. If they're not equal left to ight in the pairings, and especially if the area of the pistons on one side is different to the area on the other overall, it'll all be out of whack.   My bet, is shit QC in making sure the pistons move in the same plane left vs right. Some minor out of square machining, and nothing will line up, things will want to move around.

      Whilst putting a V8 in a MX5 would be fun, it would negate the whole cheap to run fun daily that the MX5 will be used for If I wanted a faster little convertible I would have got a engine check light, I mean a BMW Z4 M, but going off the issues that the guy at work who recently got one is having, it is lucky I didn't  Meh, horses for courses, the Bogan Cruise Ship is my go to for some horse torques
